WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD - Small parts. Not for children under 3 years.

This product contains small building blocks that can pose a choking hazard to young children. Adult supervision is recommended during assembly, especially when children under the recommended age are present. Keep all small parts out of reach of infants and toddlers.

3. Assembly Instructions

Each nanoblock kit includes detailed, step-by-step instructions to guide you through the assembly process. Follow these instructions carefully to ensure correct construction of each dinosaur model.

General Assembly Steps:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully open the packaging and lay out all the nanoblock pieces. It is recommended to work on a clean, flat surface to prevent loss of small parts.
2. Identify Pieces: Refer to the instruction manual to identify the different types and colors of blocks required for each step. Nanoblocks are very small, with the smallest measuring 4mm x 4mm x 5mm.
3. Follow Step-by-Step Diagrams: The included manual provides visual diagrams for each stage of construction. Pay close attention to the orientation and placement of each block.
4. Secure Connections: Ensure each block is firmly pressed into place to create a stable structure.
5. Review Each Step: Before proceeding to the next step, verify that your current construction matches the diagram in the manual.

4. Operation and Display

Once assembled, your nanoblock dinosaur models are ready for display. These models are designed to be static display pieces. They are not intended for rough play, as small parts may detach.

Display Recommendations:

• Place models on a stable, flat surface to prevent accidental falls.
• Keep models away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to prevent material degradation or discoloration.
• Consider displaying them in a dust-free environment, such as a display case, to maintain their appearance.

5. Maintenance

To keep your nanoblock models in optimal condition, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

Cleaning:

• Use a soft, dry brush or a can of compressed air to gently remove dust from the models.
• For more stubborn dirt, lightly dampen a soft cloth with water and gently wipe the surface. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the plastic.
• Ensure the models are completely dry before returning them to display or storage.

Storage:

• If disassembling for storage, keep all blocks organized in a sealed container to prevent loss.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources or humidity.

6. Troubleshooting

While nanoblock kits are designed for straightforward assembly, you may encounter minor issues. Here are some common troubleshooting tips:

Missing Pieces:

• Double-check the packaging and your work area thoroughly. Due to their small size, blocks can easily be overlooked.
• If a piece is genuinely missing, refer to the Warranty and Support section for contact information.

Difficulty with Assembly:

• Review the instruction manual carefully, paying close attention to the diagrams for the specific step you are on.
• Ensure blocks are oriented correctly and fully pressed into place.
• Take a break and return to the assembly with fresh eyes if you feel frustrated.
